mini fun + mini haul.

mauka to makai.

(towards the mountains / towards the sea)

last summer, a classmate kept us updated, via facebook photos, on his mauka to makai themed summer in which he took his kids hiking one day, to the beach the next. i thought it was a great idea because it's taking advantage of the two best places here. on sunday, i had a quick meet up at the beach where my friend was renting a beach house. it was perfectly overcast and mini-he had fun playing in the water and sand. monday, i hiked with the gang. if i can go mauka to makai at least once a week,

i hit the drugstore to get some new lashes at 25% off. they turned out to be a steal at $0.63 each...i stocked up. everything revlon was on sale, too, so i decided to try the revlon lip butters in hopes that they might replace my current mac favorites. i also wanted a lilac polish, and revlon's #325 in gum drop was the exact color i wanted.

have you tried these lip butters? and for those who use lashes, can you tell the difference between cheap and expensive ones?

i love this post! it makes me wanna do something mauka to makai every week too! i have a lot of friends that do this on a weekly basis. that was a goal of mine, to incorporate outdoor activities in my life more often.

Cheers!

p.s. love minis curls! too cute!! my nephew had a full head of hair like this when he was younger too.

I've heard a lot of good things about the lip butters, I've been wanting to try them for a while now. I wish I lived so close to a gorgeous beach! The best places to go around my town are the historic downtown area and the ballpark since whenever it's warm there's always something going on in those places.

I'm from LA but I would always recommend the hiking trails in the hills/mountains and the ski resorts during winter. I try to stay away from the beaches here, I feel like they're dirty... your beach looks great though! I would love to play by the shore like the kids in the picture :)

Wish you'd post about how you like the lashes and the lip butter, I've seen so many people buy that but haven't read about them yet.

Ah! Gorrrrgeous photos! I would go to the beach everyday if I lived there! The mountains are the only thing our new small town has going for itself... I can't wait until it warms up enough for us to go exploring!

When I used to be out in San Diego for months at a time, I would LOVE going to the Coronado Beach. I still go there whenever I get the chance. It's an awesome spot. I also liked going to the San Diego Zoo, the best zoo in the world.

Hey love, awww I love reading and seeing pictures with the minis and your fun weekend. There are so much places here to go hiking and exploring but I never really got to do either so I think I'm going to for the summer. Ohh and of course lots of nature and photo opportunities :) Love this fighting eel dress on you, I always wanted to get one too ;)

I love red cherry lashes, they are pretty good quality. I'm too stubborn to spend my money on eyelash extensions so falsies will do. I think revlon has the best lipsticks and nail polishes. I never tried the butter ones yet but they look promising. I miss you!

The best places around here are the medieval city of York and the Yorkshire countryside... which is kinda everywhere :) I wish I had a beach a bit closer to home!! :) I hope the lipstick shades work for you!

it must be soo cool to have both mountains and the sea close to where you live! those photos are wonderful. they make me miss the seaside so much. I live in the mountains and the landscapes are really gorgeous but I think I am rather a "sea girl"

Oh wow, I wish I lived near the ocean. I live right in the heart of downtown Ottawa, and since I refuse to take the bus and don't own a car, I basically only go so far as my feet will take me, which is rather limiting. Of course if my friends have a car that's another thing but... just within my walking distance radius, I can get to Dow's Lake, where you can rent kayaks, and there's a lovely park, and my favourite gelato place is on the way :D

Def. down by the shore in the summer time is the best place to be. It's not as pretty as Hawaii, but I'll take it :) I guess I could get into false eyelashes seeing as how I have none of my own..hehehe

Nowhere as beautiful as that! Love your photos.And I haven't tried the butters...let us know how they are. I don't really find a difference in lashes...typically use the revlon ones. I do like a good adhesive though and prefer the ones that are "already sticky" vs applying glue.

You are so lucky to live where you do. Your kids get to explore and see such amazing things! To say I am jealous is an understatement!My favorite places here would be the lake we go camping at in the summer, getting away to the mountains or just enjoying the ravines in spring/summer/fall :)xJennaD

I love my lip butters. what a great sale becks! ohhh, the beach and mountains are perfect. i wish we had more outdoorsy places like that. our river is brown, muddy and murky. yuck! lol you are so lucky!http://www.averysweetblog.com/

Thanks for visiting my blog. I've been so busy and caught up with my own life that I've missed out with blog hopping but I'm slowly getting my kick. I love the photos and the new lay-out. Will spend more backtracking with your post, don't worry.

Would love to go back to the beach and be a bum, really. Happy Sunday! =)

i like cheap lashes. in fact i use the same ones you do. i figure with cheap ones you can wear a few times then toss and get a new pair. of course the expensive fancy shu uemura ones are pretty fantastic!

i like the beach near where we live. also the mountains. and there's always disneyland :)
